KONOHAGAKURE, the akimichi clan

[attr="class","nintales-title"]「 秋道 」the akimichi clan,

[attr="class","nintales-break"].

[attr="class","nintales-body"]






Members of the Akimichi Clan utilize unique techniques that revolve around manipulation of their body weight and size through Yang Release. They possess great physical strength and bulk, and are able to quickly convert calories into chakra, which they use in many hiden techniques. As a result, they have high chakra levels, which they maintain through eating often and in large quantities.

[attr="class","nintales-subtitle"]CLAN MEMBER CHARACTERISTICS,

[attr="class","nintales-body"]

Akimichi Clan members are able to convert calories into chakra, and as a result must eat extremely regularly to replenish and/or build up their stores. As a tribute, many members of the clan wear the kanji for “food” (食) on their clothing.

Clan members also sometimes have markings on their cheeks and prefer wearing plate armor both with and without flak jackets. Due to their unique abilities and need to eat regularly, most if not all Akimichi Clan members are chubby or overweight, and are able to lose the weight and slim down during battle depending on the amount of calories they have converted.

[attr="class","nintales-subtitle"]THE AKIMICHI CLAN IN MODERN DAY,

[attr="class","nintales-body"]

The Akimichi Clan have a special relationship with the Nara and Yamanaka Clan, having created a pact that dictates the three clans work together, protect one another, and combine their strengths to protect the village. Members of the Sarutobi Clan bestow them with earrings each generation when they become chūnin and swear this oath, and they in turn return them to give to the next generation when the time comes.

The three clans form the Ino-Shika-Chō team with a trio of shinobi— one from each clan. Every iteration of this team has been known for their unique and tactically superior formation in battles.

[attr="class","nintales-body-2"]


A hijutsu utilized by the Akimichi Clan that forms the basis of all their techniques, calorie control allows users to convert calories they store in their bodies into chakra to be used in their unique fighting style which ranges from expanding parts of or their entire bodies.[break][break]


Akimichi Clan members are stronger than average and typically use large weapons such as clubs as their tool of choice in combat. These weapons are created to lengthen in proportion to their wielder’s size.[break][break]


Akimichi Clan members are able to add Three Colored Pills to their inventory, which they can use once per thread. As the name suggests, these are a trio of pills that forcibly convert their body’s fat reserves into chakra— with each pill ingested providing a tremendous power boost. The chilli pill is said to increase one’s power a hundred times. However, the pills have a drawback— each poisons the body, and once all fat reserves are consumed, the user becomes dangerously emaciated and close to death.

(D-RANK // RANGE: SHORT-MED // DURATION: 3 // CD: 3) A trademark technique of the Akimichi Clan. The user grows in size, increasing their weight and strength and making their physical attacks more powerful; clothes will also change to accommodate their growth. Such a significant change in size places a great burden on the body, so this technique cannot be used for extended periods.[break][break]


(D-RANK // RANGE: SHORT-MED // DURATION: 4 // CD: 3) A practical application of the Multi-Size Technique, rather than increase the size of their entire body, the user increases the size of only specific body parts, typically the arms and legs. Physical attacks then do more damage than normal; limb growth is very fast, giving users a way of taking opponents by surprise. Chakra requirements for this technique are high, but not as high as expanding the entire body, allowing it to be maintained for longer periods of time.[break][break]


(C-RANK // RANGE:MED-LONG // DURATION: NA // CD: 2) Multi-Size or Partial Multi-Size technique must be active. The user funnels chakra into their hands, which causes special markings to appear on them. The weight and power of their hands are greatly increased due to the larger size, and their palms become iron hammers— crushing anything that might be caught by them. This attack covers an incredibly wide range.[break][break]


(C-RANK // RANGE: MED-LONG // DURATION: NA // CD: 2) Requires Multi-Size Technique to be active. The user tucks themselves into a ball and rolls towards a target, pulverizing most obstacles upon contact. The speed at which they spin has the added benefit of rendering most physical attacks ineffective against them, but the ball’s speed makes it difficult to turn, forcing them to stop spinning to change in direction and leaving them vulnerable while they do.[break][break]


(C-RANK // RANGE: MED-LONG // DURATION: NA // CD: 3) Requires Partial Multi-Size Technique to be active. The user smashes the ground with an enlarged fist or foot, causing debris to fly from the ground into the air. The user then jumps and swings their enlarged limb into the debris, and sends them flying towards a target. A long-ranged, but inaccurate technique useful for crowd control.[break][break]


(B-RANK // RANGE: NA // DURATION: 4 // CD: ONCE PER THREAD) The user can enter this new mode by converting the calories of their body into Chaka, which visibly manifests as two large butterfly wings that sprout from their back. This technique greatly enhances combat ability, and the wings themselves are able to create gusts of chakra. An Akimichi Clan member can enter this mode using their Three-Colored Pills or by reaching B-Class in strength and learning to control their calories masterfully enough to enter and exit the mode at will. This form does consume large amounts of chakra, however, and cannot be used for prolonged periods regardless.[break][break]


(B-RANK // RANGE: SHORT-MED // DURATION: NA // CD: 1) Requires Butterfly Mode to be active. The user concentrates their wings’ chakra into their fists before sending a single punch to a target with their full weight behind it. Their natural strength combined with the sheer amount of gathered chakra renders this punch devastating enough to punch a hole in the side of a mountain with little effort.
